FIRST PSOT!!! er, I mean First meeting! (transcript)

Today several of us involved in AvatarFest 2015 met in the “avatarfeast” region in metropolis to introduce one another and kick around some ideas. Here’s the transcript of the meeting for those who weren’t able to attend:

[09:48] Danko Whitfield: hi Han!

[09:48] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: Heya Danko!

[09:48] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: Great seeing you! 😀

[09:48] Danko Whitfield: good to see you

[09:48] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: Did you have any problems getting here?

[09:57] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: I had to try it a couple of times

[09:57] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: Isis might have the right idea LOL

[09:58] Leighton Marjoram: I know hwat I am going to be doing most of this evening.

[09:58] Isis Ophelia: yes, tried to rez a chair but didnt work

[09:58] Danko Whitfield: lol

[09:58] Isis Ophelia: but this box is comfy too

[09:58] Isis Ophelia: hello to those who just joined us :))

[09:59] Leighton Marjoram: hi Isis, great to see you.

[09:59] Isis Ophelia: was answering to Andress in G+

[09:59] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: This is an introductory meeting and at least a couple of people are having problems finding this region so I’m going to wait before calling this to order or anything

[09:59] Leighton Marjoram: k

[10:00] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: HIya Eryn!

[10:00] Eryn Galen: Hey

[10:00] Eryn Galen: ~**Smile**~

[10:00] Danko Whitfield: hi Eryn!

[10:00] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: The chair is a wearable chair

[10:00] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: hopefully the box is copiable; I’m not sure what the perms are

[10:00] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: let me set them

[10:00] Isis Ophelia: I am not wearing hehe

[10:01] Leighton Marjoram: Hi Eryn and Magnuz

[10:01] Eryn Galen: Well this worked, thanks

[10:01] Danko Whitfield: lets all push back a couple steps. then newcomers will land in the middle of the circle…

[10:01] Han.Held @admeja.bounceme.net:8002: Heya Magnuz! Glad you could join us

[10:17] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Yes; right now we have Oshi performning a reading, I have a friend who is a dj who is going to put on a show and those are the only two firm commitments I have

[10:17] Eryn Galen: I can ask Dawn for Russell if you like Han

[10:17] Isis Ophelia: when we have the exact day & time I can ask Torben Asp to perform

[10:18] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: That would be great, please do.

[10:31] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: he’s saying the use of virtual worlds as a safe spot for gay, lesbian, transgendered and other folk

[10:31] Andress Renault chuckles

[10:31] Leighton Marjoram: (cant remember of the opt of my head what IA mean will look it up

[10:31] Stassi Susanti: good idea

[10:31] Isis Ophelia: ah ok second that topic

[10:31] Isis Ophelia: the question is how?

[10:32] Isis Ophelia: how to present?

[10:32] Andress Renault: Perhaps grids that support them, info on some supporting websites?

[10:32] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I’m not sure what presenters will need

[10:32] Danko Whitfield: Allies

[10:32] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I am willing to work with people on that

[10:32] Leighton Marjoram: Thank you Danko

[10:32] Magnuz Binder: I would suggest a hypergrid trail as well. Minethere has got a great collection of links to “ordinary” people’s builds.

[10:32] Andress Renault: Heck even art and related fun materials.

[10:32] Danko Whitfield: 🙂

[10:33] Isis Ophelia: ok this is turning very exciting

[10:33] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I prefer stuff that is more personal; “I am trans and I use VWs to safely explore my gender” instead of “here’s a collection of external resources on trans issues”

[10:33] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Great, Magnuz

[10:33] Eryn Galen: agreed Han

[10:33] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: when you said Trail what do you mean?

[10:33] Leighton Marjoram: There is a logo for safe space i will put some info together and can send a notecard to people

[10:33] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I like the idea

[10:33] Stassi Susanti: mmhumm

[10:33] Eryn Galen: What about Roleplay

[10:33] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Perfect, Eryn

[10:33] Andress Renault: Like a Hypergrid Adventure I believe

[10:33] Eryn Galen: we had a great one on Metro with Hohenburg, but it stopped

[10:34] Leighton Marjoram: The main focus is about info and awareness raising for users to feel accepted as part of the opensim community

[10:34] Eryn Galen: I can ask Ly with her amazons

[10:34] Magnuz Binder: If people would like, we could give them hypergates to put up at their places so people can jump on, otherwise we could just simply link them from a gate here.

[10:40] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: here’s what I’d like to see happen

[10:40] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I’d like us to decide on the parcel dimensions, and then people build their exhibits on their own grids

[10:40] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: then when the time comes, they join a group on the final server

[10:40] Eryn Galen: How about having several sizes?

[10:40] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: and set out their exhibit on their parcel

[10:40] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: under their group

[10:41] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I think we could have several sizes; how would that work?

[10:41] Eryn Galen: Thats the way we usually did it

[10:41] Leighton Marjoram: K

[10:41] Eryn Galen: as long as its a multiple of 4×4 we can make it happen.

[10:41] Eryn Galen: All we need to know is how many of shich size is needed

[10:41] Eryn Galen: the landscaping can accommodate

[10:41] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: what I want, is for someone to NOT have to trust their assets to a strange grid if they don’t have to; the point of the hypergrid is to be able to share safely; and AFAIK that’s the safest way to go about it; set land to group, people rez their stuff under the land group

[10:47] Magnuz Binder brings out his spider avatar so he has 4 spare hands and 2 more feet for emergencies

[10:47] Eryn Galen: lol Magnuz

[10:48] Isis Ophelia: I have only 1 exhibit, that all

[10:48] Leighton Marjoram: What do people think of these: (1) the hypergrid (2) social and community, (3) roleplay and (4) Culture and education

[10:48] Eryn Galen: That sounds good, Leighton

[10:48] Stassi Susanti: sounds great

[10:48] Leighton Marjoram: As categories to organise around

[10:48] Magnuz Binder: Sounds like it covers most, Han.

[10:48] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I’m not sure that “categories” applies, at least I don’t see how it does; I’m thinking closer to “theme” ala’ SLB …in that case the “theme” would be “what I do here”

[10:48] Eryn Galen: Sounds like you could organise the exhibits 😉

[10:48] Isis Ophelia: yes, good

[10:48] stiofain.nbmcmedia @hg.osgrid.org: sounds good

[10:48] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I’m open to categories but we have to wokr it out

[10:48] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: *work

[10:48] Isis Ophelia: call it themes if you like or categories

[10:48] Leighton Marjoram: Theme, category different words for the same thing.

[10:49] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Ok

[10:49] Leighton Marjoram: *chuckle*

[10:49] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: now

[10:49] Eryn Galen: Categories usually work well, but there will always be exhibits that dont fit any

[10:49] Isis Ophelia: grrrrrr brb

[10:49] stiofain.nbmcmedia @hg.osgrid.org: theme = dont mention sl

[10:49] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Whose willing to perform or get performers?

[10:49] Stassi Susanti: heheh

[10:49] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: :p~~~ if I hadn’t bein in SL, esp SLB, I wouldn’t hhave the nerve to do this

[10:49] Stassi Susanti: I can perform

[10:49] Leighton Marjoram: Im not sure if i can help as dont really now that side of the community that well.

[10:51] stiofain.nbmcmedia @hg.osgrid.org: i did the closing party for last 2 oscc

[10:51] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Let me answer now

[10:51] Isis Ophelia: listening

[10:52] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: We’re going to have one 256 sized region, I want to talk to the region sponsor and see if it will be possible to expand to a 2×2 region if we have a heavy demand

[10:52] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: but the plan right now is to use a single 256sqm standard region

[11:02] Eryn Galen: No worries. Thats easy to do since I have done it before. Will only take a couple of minutes. Then we can put it into Google and if people want to help out, they get a link and access.

[11:02] Isis Ophelia: my suggestion is we sort out, then all questions coming to our mind, we cocentrate them in G+

[11:02] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Ok, Isis

[11:02] Eryn Galen: yes, have a questions section….

[11:02] Magnuz Binder: Anyone good at making posters so we can start spamming ASAP? I have a few regions I can fill with them…

[11:03] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: and that’s part of why I want to post the transcript; to have a record

[11:03] Isis Ophelia: yes

[11:03] Eryn Galen: Anyone know any creative person?

[11:03] Leighton Marjoram: These first few meetings are like this, order will emerge at some point. Great starting point though.

[11:03] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I would prefer to have people signup on G+ because it’s easier to keep track of there

[11:03] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: it’s more centrailised

[11:03] Stassi Susanti: mmhumm

[11:04] Isis Ophelia: depends, if you expect a piece of ART then I might be not good enuff haha

[11:04] Stassi Susanti: Posters I can work something up if you like

[11:04] Isis Ophelia: for the poster I mean

[11:04] stiofain.nbmcmedia @hg.osgrid.org: well i think setting open/close time and getting the hg addrss of the region is the necessary start point before doing gates / posters / finding performers / exhibitors

[11:04] Eryn Galen: Just make something Isis and post it on G+

[11:04] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: We’ll be happy with whatever you want to give us

[11:04] Eryn Galen: ~**Smile**~

[11:04] Eryn Galen: Great Stassi

[11:04] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Stiofain, we have to decide the time

[11:04] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: that’s the biggie

[11:04] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: That is going to probably happen in a thread on G+

[11:04] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: in the group

[11:04] Isis Ophelia: but I know Sofee she is a master at Poster making

[11:05] stiofain.nbmcmedia @hg.osgrid.org: yes that is first step

[11:05] Isis Ophelia: will ask her, maybe I can win her to do 1-2 Posters

[11:05] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: We have to decide when epople are availiable, both to perform, and to attend

[11:05] Eryn Galen: Stio we might possibly sort the region out within the next 2 weeks

[11:05] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: we have the date; the date is settled

[11:05] Eryn Galen: but we can build here in the meantime and meet

[11:05] Eryn Galen: so region or addess is not the issue yet

[11:05] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: I’m not sure when I’ll have the final location; I have to meet with the person donating the region

[11:05] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: and work out what they can offer and when

[11:05] Leighton Marjoram: I am going to have to head off now beautiful people. Look forward to seeing the notes from this meeting and getting started. Stay fabulous and great to meet everyone.

[11:05] Eryn Galen: exactly

[11:06] Isis Ophelia: but could be build in here and then export the oar?

[11:07] Eryn Galen: G+ should suffice for most things

[11:07] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: Anything else can be hashed out on G+ in the group

[11:07] Isis Ophelia: G+ is ok

[11:07] Han.Held @admeja.strangled.net:9000: stiofain, do you want the URL for the G+ group?
